“DECISIONS-EVERYONE HAS DECISIONS”
==========

A big weekend ahead for alot of teams.
And big decisions to be made too.

PADRES…Yu Darvish has a history of success against the Dodgers, 17-games in his career with a (2.35-ERA)..Big issue how to pitch to Ohtani-Betts-Freeman atop the batting order.

DODGERS..Very simple but very tough call.  Do you start a combo of Yosh Yomamoto-Jack Flaherty, or do you go with another ‘Bullpen Day’ considering the 8-pitchers used in the (8-0) Wednesday win had pretty much stress free outings?  And if it is a bullpen day, what order do you use this time?

DAVE ROBERTS…If this does not end in a Friday night Dodgers win, does Dave Roberts survive, considering the past three opening round defeats they have had?  The outcry of ‘fire him’ is still out there from all the past historical post season failures under his reign.

CHARGERS..Justin Herbert will start, but how long does his battered offensive line hold up and isn’t it about time somebody from that wide receiver group step up and make plays down the field?  The offense cannot survive alone on slot WR-Ladd McConkey and his yards after catch.

DENVER..Bo Nix is getting better, week-by-week, but now he faces a big time blitz package.  But the game is in Denver and the Broncos play strong defense, run the ball better and Nix has stopped making mistakes.  Big game for both teams.

RAIDERS NATION..What a mess, at quarterback, with the Davante Adams injury-request to be traded, a battered defensive front, and a loudmouth coach who keeps spewing junk, as if the Raiders have won anything recently.

RAMS WON’T LOSE..Not this week at least, because it’s a bye week.  Sean McVay does not have enough help for QB-Matthew Stafford with all these injuries.

USC..Do like the fire in the belly of QB-Miller Moss and the toughness of RB-Woody Marks, but the Trojans defense isn’t playing very well and here comes Penn State’s toughness on defense and in the run game, and productive QB-Drew Allar.  Might be the beginning of a long season if Lincoln Riley’s guys cannot win this home game.

UCLA..Not much offense, a young quarterback, no longer a tough defense.  What a bad combination and now they face a Minnesota team in another Big 10-game.  Can you say (1-5) by Saturday night?

AZTECS..Making progress, and another win gets them to the (.500) mark, but then the schedule gets tougher after this road trip to Laramie to face a skidding Wyoming Cowboys team.

USD..Lost in everything going on in San Diego is the good job Brandon Moore has done guiding the Toreros back to playing good football.  QB-Grant Sargent competes and throws TDs.  The defense takes the ball away…but they play another 1AA team this weekend..
